Sealing vs Coating vs Resurfacing: Which Is Right for Your Perth Concrete?

Read moreDulux Avista exterior sealers and interior floor systems — matched to how and where you use the concrete.
We seal and coat driveways, paths, patios, stairs and floors across Perth with Dulux Avista systems — exterior acrylic sealers outdoors, and water-based epoxy with urethane or polyaspartic topcoats for garages and internal floors.
Perth concrete takes a beating from UV, rain, vehicle traffic and everyday wear. A professionally applied Dulux Avista system helps reduce staining, dusting and dirt pickup, helps the surface shed water, and leaves a finish that is easier to keep clean.
Important: Avista film-forming sealers are protective sealers — they are not waterproofing membranes. We do not sell them as membrane waterproofing.
Exterior driveways, paths and patios typically use Dulux Avista solvent acrylic sealers such as General Purpose, Extended Wear or Exposed Aggregate Sealer (clear or coloured tintable bases where suitable). These solvent acrylics are exterior only — they are not for internal or garage floors.
Garages and internal floors use Waterbased Epoxy (with decorative flake options), then a 2 Pack Urethane, Polyaspartic or Polyurethane topcoat where traffic and chemical exposure call for it.
Where low odour matters outdoors, Waterbased Concrete Sealer and Waterbased Tintable Base (including Colorbond® colours) can be specified for suitable exterior and some interior applications after assessment.
Where the slab needs patch repairs first, we fix the damage, prepare the surface properly, then apply the system so it bonds. Looking for a full decorative overlay? See concrete resurfacing. For showpiece garage floors, see epoxy flooring.
Dulux Avista exterior acrylics, interior epoxy systems, and slip-reducing options
Dulux Avista clear film sealers that enhance appearance and help reduce staining, dusting and UV wear. General Purpose or Extended Wear for plain/decorative exterior; Exposed Aggregate Sealer for exposed aggregate. Exterior only.
Tintable Base / Coloured Concrete Sealer (solvent) for exterior colour. For Colorbond® colours we use Waterbased Tintable Base (24 colours including Colorbond®) with the correct Bare/Sealed primers.
Waterbased Epoxy (± decorative flake), then 2 Pack Urethane, Polyaspartic or Polyurethane topcoats. Solvent acrylic driveway sealers are not used on internal or garage floors.
Waterbased Concrete Sealer and Waterbased Tintable Base where lower odour is preferred — suitable for selected interior and exterior applications after on-site assessment.
Film sealers alone can reduce slip resistance. Where grip matters we add slip-reducing additives or textured finishes. Film sealers are not recommended on slopes steeper than about 1:8.
Spalling, holes, broken edges and joint sealing addressed before coating, so the Dulux Avista system bonds to a sound, properly profiled surface.
Driveways, carparks, stairs and commercial flooring across Perth
Driveways — exterior Dulux Avista acrylic sealers to help reduce staining, dusting and dirt pickup.
Carparks — exterior protective systems for slabs that take vehicles, weather and constant traffic.
Stairs and entries — slip-reducing additives or textured finishes where grip matters (not for slopes steeper than ~1:8).
Commercial and garage floors — Waterbased Epoxy with urethane or polyaspartic topcoats for traffic and cleaning.
Exterior acrylics vs interior floor systems — specified to Dulux Avista guidance
Exterior: Dulux Avista solvent acrylics (General Purpose, Extended Wear, Exposed Aggregate). Garages and internals: Waterbased Epoxy ± 2 Pack Urethane / Polyaspartic / Polyurethane.
Cleaning, grinding and repairs before any sealer or coating. Proper prep is what keeps the finish performing.
Where grip matters we add slip-reducing additives or textured finishes. Film sealers can reduce grip and are not recommended on slopes steeper than about 1:8.

Works staged to keep driveways, carparks and floors usable where we can — access is outlined in the quote.
From assessment to the right Dulux Avista finish
We check concrete condition, use, slope and exposure — and whether an exterior acrylic sealer, an interior epoxy floor system or a related service is right.
Exterior: General Purpose, Extended Wear or Exposed Aggregate Sealer (clear or coloured). Garages/internals: Waterbased Epoxy ± urethane/polyaspartic/polyurethane topcoat. Slip-reducing additives where needed.
Patch damaged areas, treat joints where needed, then clean and profile the surface so the system bonds properly.
Apply the specified sealer or floor system, add slip-reducing texture if required, and hand over with curing and aftercare notes.
